Process continues to run after Application.Exi t()

cweeks

When the user clicks on my Exit menu command I call Close() followed by
Application.Exi t(). The GUI goes away as expected but the process is
still listed in Task Manager. What do I need to do to really terminate
the process?

If you have a thread somewhere that hasn't exited, the process will
still continue to run. Application.Exi t posts an exit message to all
thread message pumps, causing windows to close. You should try to find
out what's running by breaking into the program with the debugger.

To force a harder exit, you can call Environment.Exi t.

Hello cweeks,

This behavior is due to worker thread, when you close the app worker thread
continue working till finish his own task.
To prevent this, set your tread to backgroud mode (IsBackground property)
- this thead will be closed with the application
